To awaken your body and senses one needs proper nutrition, exercise and less stress. In March 2010 I reached a low point in health and strength and decided to make changes. I had a herniated disk, sciatica, pain shooting down my leg.

When an assistant helps me with a Japanese Straightening, I always give my assistant 30% of the total amount tipped, if there is a second assistant shampooing she/he gets 10%
The assistants also get paid by the hour between $8 to $10 per hour.
Peter Louis Salon Assistants earn better total daily tips now than 11 years ago when I only cut hair. When I cut hair I would get a 20% tip and my assistant would get $3 to $5 for the shampoo.

I celebrated the New Year in Curacao. I had fun snorkeling and hiking. There are many goats and flamingos on the Island ; be careful driving :) Don't let the little birds drink your alcohol, they get drunk and start flying into walls :(

I saw this Samba band in Lapa, Rio de Janiero They were great!

Icelandic Glacier ice is approximately 1200 years old, very dense, crystal clear and melts much slower than regular ice which is great for drinks . This Icelandic Ice miner and his girlfriend are picking up some ice for their whiskey. FYI its 57 degrees here at the base of the Glacier.

According to the scriptures, “Let There Be Light.” were the first words of creation. Since the dawn of time, the sun has been the source of all life on earth. All forms of life, no matter how primitive or or how advanced, derive sustenance from life-giving light.

Today, I had the pleasure of cutting Tila Tequila's hair. She is very nice and I love her sense of style.

I remember my son when he was five, explaining to his kindergarten class what his father did for a living. "My Daddy," he said, "pretends to be people."

Today I met and attended an interesting class by internationally known researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto. He has challenged prevailing ideas of illness with his book The Hidden Messages in Water, which demonstrated that molecules of water are affected by thoughts, words, and feelings, and that water contains extraordinary therapeutic powers unrecognized by Western medicine.

Rome was amazing; I walked the entire city in two days! The Sistine chapel is beautiful.

On the train ride to Florence, I met a nice couple who told me to go see Il Palio. To actually see Il Palio you have to get to the Piazza early, bring plenty of water and claim your spot! I had a great spot and spent several hours working on my tan and relaxing waiting for IL Palio.

On my way to Italy, I spent the day in Lucerne and the evening in Lugano. Lucerne lies at the mountainous heart of Switzerland and is situated on the banks of the massive lake which shares its name. I wish I could have spent more time here.

Today I attended a Medieval festival in Visby, it goes on for the whole week. Everyone really gets into the Medieval lifestyle.

"For those of you who suffer from chronic pain, who have lost all hope of living a normal life, who have been condemned by the medical community to a life of purgatory, I hope that my experience will give you the hope and inner strength to continue searching for a cure."

Today I spoke to an old friend of mine and this is his true life story. He is now enjoying life in South America.

I am having a great time in Las Vegas and saw a surprise concert by Davey Jones of the Monkees after the eBay Live keynote address. Enjoy the video! I will be publishing more posts that will cover the past events of the last 4 months soon.

As Americans struggle to eat a healthier diet, the FDA has taken draconian steps to suppress information about foods that reduce disease risk.

While various agencies of the federal government encourage us to eat more fruits and vegetables, the FDA has issued an edict that precludes cherry companies from posting scientific data on their websites. This censorship of published peer-reviewed studies denies consumers access to information that could be used to make wiser food choices.

Has the Muslim world really gone that mad? Do a billion Muslims really want to kill a few insensitive cartoonists because they violated their religious sensibilities, however dear they may be?

Last night we decided to dine at The Bouley Bakery / Café, Market. The third floor dining area is small but the service is excellent. I counted twelve employees and 24 patrons, nice ratio. The food and drinks were excellent and it was fun watching the chef cook our meal. I can't wait to go back:-) or try the Main Restaurant next time. If you don't mind really tight seating, you will love this casual place.

New Years Eve 2006 was fun! We drove to Miami and Key West . We visited Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and stayed at some nice bed and breakfasts along the way.We stayed at the Delano Hotel for the New Years Eve party, we watched an amazing performance by Jamie Foxx with Ludacris and Snoop Dogg and we danced the night away in the infinty pool. It was really great. After two nights in Miami we headed out to Key West.

The church needs to change its focus back to the basics...Healing! and maybe even saving the world environment. Yes! Healing People and Healing the Environment. Priests have plenty of time to educate themselves on Holistic healing. They can then teach people how to heal themselves of their illnesses. They could work on projects that help clean and repair the environment. They need to preach love and happiness rather than sin and punishment. Maybe more people would actually decide to become priests again. I don't understand why priests can't marry.

The Peter Louis Salon Is Open.
I Think the TWU is in a difficult Situation. I don't think the strike is wise and I don't think they realize why. Of course everyone deserves to make a living but, if the workers get a raise that the MTA can't really afford and the city and state budgets get affected due to the strike. The city and state officials and the MTA will probably do their best to Automate the whole system reducing the need for employees.

One of my clients recently told me she had all the hair on her body removed by Laser and she loves it. She said she had tried many systems and the one that worked best was a laser system by Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.

I decided to take some acting classes today. I visited an acting studio and I will be auditing my first Acting Class on Tuesday. Sounds fun. Lee Strasberg said "you haven't lived until you have acted!"

A client of mine introduced me to this website, it is very interesting.

Since that landmark report from C. Everett Koop (and even before, depending on the circles you run in), Americans have been following one diet craze after another not only in an attempt to drop the excess baggage most of us are carrying around but also as a way to find our way back to good health. The result? We (as a country) are fatter than ever. And we're certainly no healthier.

In the early nineties, I moved to Arizona for a year, after 6 months I had asthma. I needed to use an inhaler 3 times a day. I heard of alternative cures so I tried a Chiropractor in Arizona, it didn't work. I decided to move back to NYC after living in Arizona for a year. Six months later my Asthma was getting worse and my regular doctor wanted to put me on oral steroids. I chose not to be medicated. I hate to take medication; sometimes I feel it a Doctors way to cop out of finding the cause of your Dis-ease. Just take this drug.

Yes, I was blessed by a future SAINT!

Las Vegas was alot of fun and relaxing. Getting a room facing the dancing fountains at the Bellagio really made the trip extra special. We met some artists from Macau who quickly cut our images from felt and then wrote our names in Chinese. The Cirque Du Soleil show "O" was spectacular and sitting in the wet seats was fun. I didn't really like the "ka" show it was kind of boring and we may have sat too close. David Copperfield asked me to come up on stage and help him with a fun magic trick.

Last week I went to Ebay Live! It was a great event and experience. This is my favorite company to invest in and do business with. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet the great staff and their fearless leader Meg Whitman the CEO of EBAY ( I told her to keep up the good work, since I plan on using my EBAY stock to fund my retirement ). I like all the new technology they introduced during this event. This company is so intune with their market that they actually listen to your suggestions and implement them!

I work seven days a week at least 12 hours per day. When I was younger, I would have been too tired to work this kind of schedule. During a college course, I learned a little about eating right and realized what I had learned about eating at home and in school may be all wrong. After graduating and joining the work force I slowly began to change my diet and choose the correct food combinations, I included more vegetables less meat and my health and energy improved.

Yes, I am addicted to new technology. My latest gadets are the mini mac, wireless bluetooth keyboard, wireless bluetooth mouse, ipod shuffle, A blackberry phone with future plans for a nokia 9500, sirius and xm satelite radioIf Apple Software could work on all intel based computers. And most computers are intel based. Apple could sell a lot of operating systems to people who would like to convert to Apple OS from Microsoft OS. So this is not about Apple and IBM.

During my lifetime I have met and observed many Doctors, some treated me and some treated my family for various aliments. Do they really know what they are talking about or are they just too busy and too focused on a specialty to really know what is going on in our bodies. Why can't they grasp the fact that the body works as a whole? Each organ is not working independently, it's all part of a system. Do the drug companies give them too many perks and freebies? Are they honestly recommending the right solutions when we are ill? Maybe, Maybe not.

Everyday we meet new interesting people some think we are fun and exciting some think we are dull and boring but what many people don't realize is that we all are reflections and amplifications of each others personality. If you are a positive person the people around you will feel it and become more postive. If you are negative, people will want to stay away from you. Some people dont believe in the ability of there own mind and they project that towards others.
